Seven months

It's crazy how fast 7 months can fly by and even crazier how fast a baby changes in that amount of time. Just a week or two ago I was blown away that when I went to check on Reed in his crib, he had pulled himself up to sitting by himself. Just this morning I peeked in his room and he was standing up in his crib. Good thing we lowered the mattress on Sunday!

We made it through our Thanksgiving plans with only a few problems. We had a good drive down to Greenville Thursday night and Friday we went to Daniken Tree Farm and cut down our Christmas tree. Hooray for the Christmas season!We were having a great time until that evening when Reed came down with a fever. He handled it well but it was obvious that he wasn't his normal chipper self. We took it easy and did a lot of relaxing before we headed back to the Chicagoland area on Sunday. Because Reed still wasn't feeling well and a snowstorm was coming we left early and unfortunately missed my mom's Thanksgiving meal for the extended family. Monday, we went to the doctor and found out that Reed has two ear infections. Poor boy :( This Thanksgiving I am also thankful for antibiotics.
